When the City of Warren approves a site plan, it requires a site plan performance bond guaranteeing the required improvements — paving, drainage, landscaping, and other public-facing work — are actually completed. The City sets the amount from the engineer’s estimate; the premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
















No underwriting queue for the standard site plan bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the City. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the City required, and the effective date — that is the application.
Most applications approve instantly — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay.
Submit the executed bond to the City of Warren to satisfy your site plan approval condition. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists.
A site plan performance bond is a completion guarantee. When the City of Warren approves a site plan, it conditions that approval on the developer completing the required public-facing improvements — paving, curbs, drainage, sidewalks, landscaping — so the bond stands behind that work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Warren (the obligee). If the improvements aren't completed and the City has to finish them, it can recover its costs against the bond, up to the bond amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Developers who complete their approved improvements treat the bond as a site plan formality. Enter the amount the City set, and see your exact price — 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — at the application.
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
